Why are some Z4 headlights black and others silver?
Why are some Z4 headlights black and others silver?
 Is it because one is halgen and the other is xenon? Or is it because one is on a 2.5 (since the grills are black) and the other on a 3.0 (since the grills are gray/silver)?? Just wondering... |

Headlights with black housings: '03~'05 2.5i '06~current 3.0i Headlights with silver housings: '03~'05 3.0i '06~current 3.0Si '06~current Z4M Personally I prefer the black inner housings. I think they make the Z4 look more aggressive.

I am all too familiar with this. I broke a headlight on my 04 3.0i last summer. My SA told me that they were $600 + labor. He recommended eBay. He told me only to make sure I got a xenon and not halogen. So I bought one for $150. After installing it, I saw that the replacement was black, my originals were silver. When I traded the car in, I pointed it out to salesperson; he didn't care. Whoever buys that car is in for an unpleasant surprise. :mad:

The black does look pretty nice. I hadn't ever noticed it before.

These trim differences date back to at least the E46 3 series.
. 325's = black headlight housings, lower grille, and side window trim. 330's = silver headlights and lower grille, chrome side window trim. |
